Aubree said, “Obviously, this isn’t the only thing I’ve <b>got </b>nned. Oh, by the way, I’ve got a ss reunioning up in a few <b>days</b>.
She didn’t <b>really </b><b>hang </b>out with her ssmates much, but since they were all from Rithol University, it never hurt to build
more connections
Maybe one of them would end up as her trusted right–hand or even a business <b>partner </b>someday
Ever since her birthday, she’d basically been living at Ellis Heights. If Bowen was out of town on business <b>and </b>she was toozy
go back there alone, she’d just <b>crash </b>at her own apartment instead.
“Alright, just give me <b>a </b>call when it’s time, and I’lle pick you up,” Bowen said.
Trevor was surprisingly patient. Instead of rushing to clear his name, he <b>stayed </b>by Sophia’s side the whole time.
He got caught on camera.
The reporters camped out at the hospital entrance snapped pictures of him looking rough. He was unshaven, with bloodshot eyes that clearly showed he hadn’t been sleeping well.
A personmented online: [Oh my god, is that really Trevor? He looks so worn out!]
Another person wrote: [<b>Those </b>trolls online are really too much. Trevor’s just as heartbroken about losing the baby as anyone else!]
A third personmented: [I live near the hospital, and for the past few days, I’ve seen Trevoring out to buy food that’s supposed to be good for women recovering from a miscarriage. He’s really looking <b>after </b><b>her</b>.]
Someone else wrote: [Damn, my heart aches for <b>you</b>, man!]
No matter what, good–looking people would always look good in any condition Trevor wasn’t even really a mess. He was just putting on a sad act, but he still looked every bit the star he was supposed to be.
His whole “<b>ying </b>the victim” move totally worked. The online hate against him flipped almost instantly.
Then, Trevor’s studio released a statement saying that, due to some personal issues, he was putting all business activities on hold for now. Still, out of consideration for his fans and the media, he <b>would </b><b>agree </b>to do a single interview.
Aubree thought to herself, ‘Pretty <b>clever</b>,
“Retreat to advance, <b>huh</b>? Trevor really <b>knows </b><b>how </b>to pull <b>a </b>slick move.
She nced at thetest news, a cold smile tugging at her <b>lips</b>,
On camera, Trevor had tidied himself up a little, but the bloodshot eyes <b>and </b>dark circles <b>under </b>them were still painfully obvious. The reporters interviewing him couldn’t help but feel a wave of <b>sympathy</b>.
“<b>Trevor</b>, sometimes you <b>just </b><b>have </b>to let things go,” one of them <b>said </b>softly.
He <b>gave </b>a <b>faint</b>, bitter smile. “It’s fine. <b>Ask </b>me <b>anything </b>you want.”
The reporters<b>, </b>who’de hoping for an <b>exclusive </b>scoop, suddenly hesitated. Any question they asked now would just be twisting the knife in Trevor’s wounds. They felt that someone as perfect <b>as </b><b>him </b>shouldn’t have to go through <b>this</b>.
Thevor said, “Not going to <b>ask </b>anything? Guess I’ll <b>just </b><b>say </b>a few words myself, then.
“I <b>know </b>what the inte’s <b>saying </b>right now–people <b>are </b>specting that I set up Sophia’s miscarriage on purpose, that 1 dragged her to meet Aubree even though everyone knows Aubree and I don’t get along.
“<b>Since </b>Milena likes me, people suspect <b>that </b>it must’ve been me who arranged for her to show up <b>too</b>.
“Yeah, bute on- -do you really think I’m that dumb? It was Sophia who wanted to meet Aubree in the first ce. I only tagged along because I know Aubree isn’t exactly my biggest <b>fan</b>.
“I was worried something might go wrong. Besides, Aubree’s still my sister. She’s the baby’s aunt, after all.”
He paused for a moment and let out a long sigh. “Milena was honestly thest person I expected to turn on me.
“We didn’t know the Yurchenko family would end up like that. Our families did have some connections–you could tell from our previous investments.
<b>“</b><b>But </b>we never expected them to turn out like that. As for Milena, I really think she’s innocent. She’s always been a fan of mine, <b>so </b>I just tried to <b>help </b>her out and brought <b>her </b>over to Rithol City to look after her
Online, people were saying Milena was someone Trevor had <b>nted </b>himself. The main reason for that rumor was that Milcha <b>was </b>supposed to be in Südlichen Strand. It was unknown how she suddenly showed up in Rithol City <b>and </b>knew exactly where Trevor was.
He was basically clearing that up now.
<b>“</b><b>I </b><b>never </b>saw thising, I really didn’t… Trevor’s voice was choked with emotion, and the reporter from earlier looked <b>at </b>him, eyes brimming with sympathy and heartache.
Just when Trevor thought <b>the </b>interview was about to wrap up smoothly, a sudden voice broke the <b>silence</b>.
“Trevor, how do you exin the fact that it was actually abortion pills that <b>caused </b>Sophia’s miscarriage?” the voice demanded.
